Raiders QB Derek Carr enthused about no-huddle offense

"My last two years at Fresno State were 100 percent no-huddle, and I love it. I’m very comfortable in it," Carr told the website. "They are building this offense around me, and I’m really excited about it. I lit up when they told me."

Carr said he's unsure how much the Raiders will use the no-huddle, but expects it to be "more than average," the report said. Last year the Raiders mainly used the no-huddle in desperation comeback mode.

This season, look for the no-huddle throughout games.

"We want to play fast," Carr said. "We want to put pressure on the defense. We want to go 100 miles per hour and cause confusion for the defense. It can be a lot of fun."

Musgrave was the quarterbacks coach in Philly last season, working for up-tempo coach Chip Kelly.

Derek Carr's big day could have been bigger

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(10/13/2014)Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who on Sunday became the first Oakland rookie to throw four touchdowns, could have had an even bigger performance against the Chargers. Carr's receivers dropped five of his 34 passes.

"As many balls as I overthrow or miss at practice, I'm never going to be one to rip into somebody," Carr told ESPN.com. "They're professional football players; I don't need to go console them or anything like that. I just go, 'Hey, you're better than that,' and those kinds of things. They already know before I even get to them."

Carr completed 18 of 34 throws for 283 yards with one interception in the 31-28 loss to San Diego. He faces the Cardinals in Week 7.

Derek Carr makes most of weapons

by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

(10/13/2014)Making a quick return from a sprained knee and ankle, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr turned in the best performance of his rookie season Week 6 against a Chargers defense that had been the talk of the league, lighting it up for four touchdowns.

But he didn't do it alone.

Wide receiver Andre Holmes deserves much of the credit for the performance. Getting extensive playing time again after shining with backup Matt McGloin in the last quarter-plus of Week 4 against the Dolphins, Holmes beat the defense for a 77-yard touchdown in the first quarter and had a 6-yard grab in the back corner of the end zone in the fourth.

Of course, Carr also had a 6-yard touchdown pass to James Jones in the second quarter and a 47-yard touchdown pass to Brice Butler in the third. All four throws were right on the money.

He completed only 18 of 34 passes overall, though, which is cause for concern, but Carr might have enough playmakers in the receiving corps to have some low-end appeal in two-quarterback leagues, particularly if Holmes stays on the field.

Raiders QB Derek Carr throws career-high four TD passes

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(10/12/2014)Raiders quarterback Derek Carr entered Sunday with only four touchdowns passes on the season. He doubled that amount with a career-best four-touchdown performance in a Week 6 home win over the Chargers. He became the first Oakland rookie to throw for four scores.

Carr got off to a fast start, connecting with Andre Holmes for a 77-yard touchdown on his first pass attempt of the day. He found James Jones in the end zone from 6 yards out in the second quarter. He hooked up with Brice Butler for a 44-yard touchdown strike in the third quarter and Holmes again for a 6-yard score in the fourth quarter. An interception to Jason Verrett with 1:13 remaining in the game proved to be costly for Carr in a 31-28 defeat.

Carr compiled 283 yards through the air while completing 18 of 34 passes. He added four touchdowns and one interception, registering a 107.8 passer rating. Carr will look to bounce back Week 7 at home against Arizona.

Raiders rule QB Derek Carr active for Week 6

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(10/12/2014)As expected, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was ruled active for Week 6 at home against the Chargers. Carr suffered an MCL sprain and high ankle sprain Week 4 against the Dolphins, but a bye week gave him enough time to recover for Sunday's divisional game. It will be his first game under interim head coach Tony Sparano.

Jason La Canfora: QB Derek Carr expected to start for Raiders

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(10/10/2014)Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who suffered an MCL sprain and high ankle sprain Week 4 against the Dolphins, has worked hard to overcome his pre-bye injuries and is expected to return to his starting spot against the Chargers in Week 6, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora on Friday.

Raiders interim head coach Tony Sparano has named him the starter and told him he can no longer play like a rookie moving forward. Carr has passed for only 734 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions through four games.

Matt McGloin relieves Derek Carr in Week 4

McGloin nearly played the entire second half and connected on a 22-yard touchdown pass to Andre Holmes in the fourth quarter. He was also intercepted by Jimmy Wilson and Walt Aikens. He converted 12 of 19 pass attempts for 129 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in a 38-14 defeat.

The Raiders will head into a bye week. If Carr is unable to play in Week 6 at home against the Chargers, then McGloin could earn the start. Matt Schaub would also be a candidate to play against San Diego.

Late interception costs Derek Carr

by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

(9/21/2014)The Raiders had a conservative game plan on the road against a Patriots defense that proved to be stout through the first two weeks, and rookie quarterback Derek Carr once again completed more than 60 percent (21 for 34) of his passes as a result. Of course, he also threw for just 174 yards and couldn't get the Raiders in the end zone in a 16-9 loss.

The closest he came was on the team's final drive of the game, when running back Darren McFadden had what looked like a game-tying 6-yard touchdown run with about a minute to go, but the play was reversed on a holding call. Carr threw an interception on the very next play.

After throwing two touchdown passes to no interceptions in his first game, he has thrown one touchdown pass to three interceptions in his last two. He'll look to reverse the trend Week 4 against the Dolphins.

Derek Carr unable to connect downfield

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(9/8/2014)Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr completed 20 of 32 passes against the Jets in his debut, but only three completions were caught 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. And eight of Carr's completions were behind the line.

"We had some shot plays called down the field, and a couple of those opportunities, for whatever the reason was, we didn't get the ball down the field and ended up having to check it down," coach Dennis Allen told the Oakland Tribune. "I would say it's a combination of us and some of what they did."

Carr, who has a big arm, will try to attack downfield more Week 2 against Houston.

Report: Teams expressing interest in Terrelle Pryor

Oakland still plans to release Pryor by April if they cannot find a taker, but this is the first sign we have had that they might be able to trade him before that. Pryor has been buried on the depth chart by the acquisition of Matt Schaub, and has requested a trade.

Pryor is still just 24 and coming off a decent enough season. He started nine games for the Raiders, racking up 1,798 yards on 57.4 percent passing, with seven touchdowns and 11 interceptions, while also rushing for 576 yards and two touchdowns. He is due just $705,000 next season, which could make finding a trade partner easier.

Terrelle Pryor could be traded or released soon

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(3/24/2014)With the Raiders planning to start Matt Schaub at quarterback, general manager Reggie McKenzie suggested Terrelle Pryor could be traded or released soon, reports the San Jose Mercury News. Pryor has asked for a trade because he wants a chance to start, according to Fox Sports.

Raiders will listen to offers for Terrelle Pryor

The report says the Raiders "will listen to offers" for Pryor, who is under contract for one more season. Oakland is expected to find a new starting quarterback for 2014 whether through the draft or free agency.

"We've got two young players who played this year (and) from an experience standpoint there wasn't any, so neither of them stepped up and said, 'I'm the frachise quarterback,'" he told ESPN. "So absolutely, we're going to always continue to upgrade and find that guy. Now how we find them, we'll figure that out in the next few months."

The Raiders own the No. 5 pick in the 2014 draft, but top three college quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel and Blake Bortles could be off the board by the time they select. That leads to speculation that the Raiders are open to trading up to get their quarterback.

Raiders sign three to future deals

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/30/2013)Dennis Allen, who expects to return as Raiders' coach in 2014, said he's not sure the team's quarterback of the future is on the roster. "Yeah, well, I think that's a position that we've got to make sure that we address," Allen said, per ESPN.com.

"I'm not sure that we have the quarterback of the future in the building right now, but again I think we'll go through the offseason evaluation process, I think we'll go back through all the tapes, we'll comb through everything. I do think we have a better idea of what we have at the quarterback position, but again I think, listen, that's the most important position on the football field."

Terrelle Pryor scores two late-game TDs in finale

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(12/29/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor shouldered the load as he led the team in passing and rushing during Sunday’s blowout home loss to the Broncos in Week 17.

Terrelle Pryor a sneaky play Week 17

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/24/2013)Raiders brass is giving quarterback Terrelle Pryor one final chance to impress them. He gets his first start since Week 10 on Sunday vs. Denver, and don't be surprised if the third-year pro succeeds.

Pryor completed 19 of 28 throws for 281 yards and a touchdown Week 3 at Denver, adding 36 yards on four carries. He did not turn the ball over.

Now fully recovered from his sprained knee, Pryor could put up big numbers in the potential shootout. He was the leading rusher among quarterbacks when he got hurt Nov. 3. The Broncos give up the 9th-most Fantasy points (20.4 per game) to opposing QBs, and Pryor put up 20 Fantasy points in the first meeting.

"We want to be able to evaluate Terrelle, so here's an opportunity to go in and do that," coach Dennis Allen told the Oakland Tribune. "Listen, when Terrelle's played, he's gone in and done a good job. So we anticipate he'll go in and play well."

Allen did not commit to playing Pryor the whole game, so Matt McGloin could rotate in. Pryor needs to start fast to deliver Fantasy value. CBSSports.com senior Fantasy expert Jamey Eisenberg rates Pryor the highest this week, 15th among quarterbacks.

Terrelle Pryor in, Matt McGloin out for Week 17

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(12/23/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor has returned to the starting job with which he began the year. Dennis Allen announced that he will replace recent starter Matt McGloin with Pryor for the season finale against Denver.

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/22/2013)After tossing a pair of touchdowns in each of his previous two games, Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin did not produce any scores in the Week 16 loss at San Diego. He finished 20 of 36 for 207 yards with an interception, adding a 5-yard run.

In seven games, McGloin has accounted for eight touchdowns and nine turnovers. He's completed under 60 percent of his throws in three straight games. McGloin should have had a late touchdown pass, but fullback Marcel Reece dropped it.

McGloin plays the Broncos in Week 17.

Terrelle Pryor does little as backup in Week 15

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(12/15/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor got some work during Sunday's blowout loss to the Chiefs in Week 15.

Pryor came in for Matt McGloin on a goal-line situation in the first quarter, but couldn't capitalize. Pryor lost 3 yards on a quarterback keeper, but a flag for a facemask kept the drive alive. On the next play, Pryor handed the ball off to Rashad Jennings, who leaped over the pile for a 1-yard touchdown.

Pryor saw some more work in the second half and replaced Matt McGloin for the final eight minutes of the game. He completed 1 of 4 passes for no touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed for 19 yards on three carries in a 56-31 defeat.

Matt McGloin picked off four times in loss to Chiefs

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

McGloin bounced back in the third quarter with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Andre Holmes and a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mychal Rivera. He was then picked off twice more in the final quarter and was benched for Terrelle Pryor for the final eight minutes of the game.

McGloin completed 18 of 36 passes for 297 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions. He finished with a 57.1 passer rating in a 56-31 defeat.

Matt McGloin not a reliable option for Week 15

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(12/12/2013)Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin will look to stay sharp, although he may lose some snaps heading into a difficult matchup in Week 15 against the Chiefs.

McGloin threw for multiple touchdowns for the second time this season in Week 14 against the Jets. He's been named the starter but the Raiders have not ruled out using Terrelle Pryor in a few drives as part of the gameplan.

McGloin will face a Kansas City defense that has allowed 244.6 passing yards per game, which ranks 19th in the league. Opposing quarterbacks have scored 18.00 Fantasy points per game against the Chiefs this season. McGloin should not be viewed as a reliable option for Week 15.

Matt McGloin to remain starting QB for Week 15

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(12/9/2013)Although the Raiders suffered a third straight defeat Sunday against the Jets, coach Dennis Allen said Matt McGloin will remain the starting quarterback heading into Week 15 vs. Kansas City. McGloin is 1-3 as a starter, throwing for 200-plus yards in three straight games and totaling six touchdowns to three interceptions in his four starts.

Terrelle Pryor plays for one series Week 14

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(12/8/2013)Raiders backup quarterback Terrelle Pryor got into the mix Week 14 at N.Y. Jets, but he appeared for just one drive in the first half during a 37-27 loss. Pryor led Oakland on a 14-play, 58-yard scoring drive that started late in the first quarter and ended early in the second quarter with a 41-yard field goal.

Pryor completed 2 of 5 passes for 20 yards, while rushing three times for 4 yards. He came close twice to throwing for a touchdown on his only drive. But a 15-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater was batted away by the defense, and a 23-yard touchdown pass to Andre Holmes fell incomplete because of a bad pass by Pryor.

Coach Dennis Allen explained after the game why Pryor only appeared for the one series.

"Obviously, Terrelle moved the ball downfield for us," Allen said, per The San Francisco Chronicle. "But we really had something going with Matt (McGloin) in the second half."

Matt McGloin throws for two TDs in Week 14 loss

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(12/8/2013)Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin had his second career multi-passing touchdown game Week 14 at N.Y. Jets, but Oakland still lost to New York, 37-27. McGloin completed 18 of 31 passes for 245 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, while rushing for 20 yards on two carries.

McGloin played most of the game, but did sit out for one series in the first half so the Raiders could get Terrelle Pryor some work. On McGloin's first series back, he threw an interception deep in Oakland's own territory, which New York returned to the Raiders' 4-yard line.

Both of McGloin's touchdowns came in the second half. He had an 48-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater in the third quarter. McGloin threaded a pass between two defenders, and Streater took care of the rest. McGloin then had a 1-yard touchdown pass to Mychal Rivera late in the fourth quarter on a 4th-and-goal play.

McGloin's best chance for a three-touchdown game came on a 22-yard pass into the end zone in the fourth quarter. However, his pass intended for Jacoby Ford was badly underthrown, resulting in an incomplete pass.

The Raiders are back in action Week 15 vs. Kansas City.

Matt McGloin might finally get second multi-TD game

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(12/4/2013)Thus far, Raiders rookie quarterback Matt McGloin has been a one-week wonder since he hasn't made much noise since throwing for three touchdowns Week 11 at Houston. McGloin has one touchdown and two interceptions in his last two starts -- both losses.

McGloin will look to record his second multi-touchdown game Week 14 at N.Y. Jets. The chances of him getting it done are better than you might expect since quarterbacks have fared pretty well against New York. Quarterbacks average 271.8 passing yards and 19.8 Fantasy points per week against the Jets.

More importantly, quarterbacks have recorded multiple touchdowns against the Jets in six of the last nine games. In all, quarterbacks have totaled 22 passing touchdowns to seven interceptions.

McGloin has kept the Raiders in the game in both of their recent defeats, which is why he continues to hold onto the starting job despite the lack of touchdowns. He's also starting to build rapport with his receivers, more notably Rod Streater and Andre Holmes, so maybe another strong performance is in the cards Sunday.

It seems McGloin has the chance to post pretty good numbers Week 14 given the matchup, but he's still more of a low-end Fantasy option.

Raiders still want to see Terrelle Pryor

(11/30/2013)Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin has played well enough to remain the starter at quarterback, but that doesn't mean we have seen the last of Terrelle Pryor this season. According to CSNCalifornia.com, the team has some packages they would like to put Pryor in in order to evaluate his development.

"I don't think Matt's done anything to play himself out of that position," coach Dennis Allen said. "I think as Terrelle gets more and more healthy, to be able to see him more involved in the offense is something that we'll continue to look at. I think Matt has gone in and handled himself pretty well. Really, in every game that he's been the starting quarterback, we've had an opportunity to win those football games."

McGloin has started the last three games since Pryor went down with a knee injury, and Allen sounds as if he isn't quite sure where Pryor is at right now. Pryor was available over the last two games, but did not see the field.

"Injuries are a tough thing," Allen said. "They're hard to account for. You don't know how things are going to respond and how quickly people are going to get back. Obviously, not getting action against the Titans was good rest for him. With the short week, and again, only having 20 plays in the second half, we weren't able to get him involved in the offense. But I think that’s something we want to look at moving forward, but we'll see how that plays out."

Matt McGloin denied touchdown in Week 13 loss

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/28/2013)For the first time in three career starts, Raiders rookie quarterback Matt McGloin failed to throw a touchdown pass during a 31-24 loss Week 13 at Dallas. McGloin completed 18 of 30 passes for one interception.

McGloin was credited with a 16-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Andre Holmes in the second quarter. However, the play was reviewed and the officials took the touchdown away after ruling Holmes' knee was down before he stretched the football across the goal line. One play later, Rashad Jennings had a 1-yard touchdown run.

McGloin had an efficient first half, completing 11 of 15 passes for 146 yards. He had a 103.8 quarterback rating as Oakland led 21-14 at the half.

McGloin was going for his first touchdown pass in the second half when a 20-yard pass into the end zone targeted for Jacoby Ford was picked off by Dallas cornerback Brandon Carr. It was McGloin's second interception in as many games.

The Raiders are back in action Week 14 at N.Y. Jets.

Is favorable matchup enough to consider starting Matt McGloin?

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/26/2013)Raiders rookie quarterback Matt McGloin will be playing on a national stage Week 13, as Oakland travels to Dallas for a Thanksgiving showdown. McGloin fell short of improving to 2-0 as a starter Sunday, as Oakland lost 23-19 vs. Tennessee, so he now focuses on getting win No. 2 Thursday.

From a Fantasy standpoint, this is a favorable matchup for McGloin on paper. The Cowboys are yielding 24.1 Fantasy points per week to quarterbacks, which is the highest average. Quarterbacks have totaled 22 passing touchdowns in 11 games against Dallas, including six in the last two games.

Another bonus for McGloin is that the Dallas secondary is expected to be without cornerback Morris Claiborne because of a hamstring injury and linebacker Sean Lee might also be out again because of a hamstring injury.

The bad news for McGloin, however, is he could be down two top targets in wide receiver Denarius Moore (shoulder) and tight end Mychal Rivera (concussion) due to injuries.

It's definitely a favorable matchup on paper and McGloin is just two weeks removed from throwing three touchdowns. But unless you are looking for a Hail Mary play at quarterback Week 13, it's probably best to consider other Fantasy options over McGloin.

Matt McGloin to make third straight start Week 13

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/25/2013)Though Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin fell short in leading Oakland to a second straight win Sunday against the Titans, coach Dennis Allen said the rookie quarterback will start again Thursday at Dallas (Week 13).

"Yeah, I thought Matt played well," Allen said, per ESPN. "And for him to lead us back when we needed a touchdown, he got us the touchdown we needed to give us the lead. We just couldn’t hold it defensively."

Matt McGloin has up-and-down game vs. Titans

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(11/24/2013)Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin had an up-and-down performance during Sunday's loss to the Titans at home in Week 12.

McGloin was picked off by Zach brown late in the first quarter, which led to a Tennessee field goal. He then bounced back as he hooked up with Marcel Reece in the end zone for a 27-yard strike late in the fourth quarter for his only touchdown of the game. He completed all four of his pass attempts during his touchdown drive. McGloin completed 19 of 32 passes for 260 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 23-19 defeat. He finished the game with an 82.8 quarterback rating.

He'll look to get back on track in Week 13 at Dallas on Thanksgiving.

(11/20/2013)Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin will make his second straight start Sunday against Tennessee despite the fact that previous starter Terrelle Pryor returned to practice on Wednesday. McGloin was taking the first-team reps.

McGloin played well in his debut as a starter in Week 11 against Houston. He completed 18 of 32 passes for 197 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Terrelle Pryor not taking first-team reps in Wednesday practice

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(11/20/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor (knee) was back at practice on Wednesday, but perhaps as the new backup. Week 11 starter Matt McGloin was taking the first-team reps, per NFL.com.

Pryor missed the Sunday game against Houston after struggling mightily in recent games. He had thrown just one touchdown pass and eight interceptions in his previous four games, three of them losses. McGloin then led his team to victory last week in Houston.

Dennis Allen has yet to name a starter for Week 12 against Tennessee.

Raiders haven't made QB decision yet for Week 12

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/18/2013)Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Monday he hasn't made a decision yet about his starting quarterback for Week 12 vs. Tennessee. Allen said he first wants to talk to quarterback Terrelle Pryor about his status after sitting out Week 11 at Houston with a knee injury.

Matt McGloin throws for three touchdowns in win

(11/17/2013)Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin was 18-of-32 for 197 yards and three touchdowns against the Texans on Sunday. McGloin rushed three times (for -3 yards) and was sacked twice.

McGloin looked composed and in control throughout the game. His receivers dropped a few spot-on passes, but they held on when it mattered -- Denarius Moore and Rod Streater caught touchdowns in the first quarter, and Mychal Rivera had a 26-yard touchdown reception in the third. In total, McGloin connected with six different players and managed to finish the day with a passing total 30 yards greater than Houston's passing yards per game average (167 yards) this season.

There's no indication if Terrelle Pryor will be able to play in Week 12 against the Titans, but McGloin acquitted himself nicely in the passing game, and had a successful starting debut.

Raiders rule out Terrelle Pryor for Week 11

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

(11/16/2013)The Raiders officially ruled out quarterback Terrelle Pryor for Week 11 Saturday, after listing him as questionable for the game on Friday's injury report.

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

Terrelle Pryor has tough task against Texans

by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer

(11/15/2013)Let's assume Terrelle Pryor plays in Sunday's game against the Texans. The Raiders quarterback will be facing a Texans team that has allowed the fewest passing yards per game in the NFL (167), as well as yielding just one quarterback rushing touchdown all season (to Alex Smith).

Despite rushing for two touchdowns in his last three games, Pryor hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in over a month. While he's normally a good bet for 50-plus rushing yards to make up for his passing inefficiencies, Pryor's balky knee could cause him to pump the brakes -- he had just 19 rushing yards against the Giants in Week 10.

While Pryor is one of the more exciting quarterbacks in the league, and can flirt with 20 Fantasy points thanks to his dual-threat ability, he's better left on benches in Week 11.

Terrelle Pryor splits reps in return to practice on Thursday

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(11/14/2013)Raiders starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor returned to practice Thursday after missing the Wednesday session with a knee ailment. But his status for the game Sunday in Houston remains unclear. He was merely splitting first-team reps with backup Matthew McGloin in team drills, according to CSNCalifornia.com.

Terrelle Pryor out, Matthew McGloin in fo Wednesday practice

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(11/13/2013)Raiders struggling quarterback Terrelle Pryormerely watched practice Wednesday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He has been nursing a knee injury. Matthew McGloin, who played only in Week 8, received the first-team reps and would likely start Sunday in Houston if Pryor gets the red light.

Pryor is coming off one of his worst performances of the year. He completed a season-low 42.3 percent of his passes against the Giants. He has just one touchdown pass and eight interceptions in his last four games.

Terrelle Pryor once again held without passing touchdown

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/10/2013)Terrelle Pryor had one rushing touchdown and two turnovers during a 24-20 loss Week 10 at N.Y. Giants. Unfortunately, Pryor went without a passing touchdown for a third straight game.

Pryor and the Raiders got off to a fast start. Two plays after recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff, Pryor recorded a 1-yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak. Unfortunately, it was downhill the rest of the way.

Pryor had a horrendous afternoon throwing the football, which included just 27 passing yards on 3 of 12 completions by halftime. Pryor finished 11 of 26 for 122 yards. He was sacked four times and rushed for 19 yards on five carries.

Both of Pryor's turnovers came in the second half, as New York rallied for the win. Pryor's first mistake was an interception, which was returned 67 yards by Terrell Thomas to the Raiders' 3-yard line. Three plays later, the Giants took the lead for good at 21-20 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Andre Brown.

Pryor still had a chance to lead Oakland to a win, but he was sacked and stripped of the football with 3:21 left. The Giants recovered and ran out the clock.

Pryor came close to a few touchdown passes, but perhaps his best opportunity was a 1-yard pass to Denarius Moore in the third quarter. But Moore dropped the touchdown in the back of the end zone before falling out of bounds.

Pryor said the knee injury he suffered Week 9 prevented him from "exploding on throws and runs" during Sunday's loss, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He said his knee became more sore as the practice week progressed and he didn't think it would affect him as much as it did Sunday. The Raiders return to action Week 11 at Houston.

Terrelle Pryor good to go for Week 10

by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

(11/10/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who left Week 9 against the Eagles with a sprained knee, is active for Week 10 at the Giants. He was able to practice in full leading up to the game and was listed as probable on Friday's injury report.

Pryor has struggled in recent weeks, throwing seven interceptions to just one touchdown pass in his last three games.

Terrelle Pryor probable for Week 10 battle

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(11/8/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor was a full participant in every practice this week, but has not quite been cleared for the game Sunday against the Giants. He has been designated as probable.

Pryor has been struggling of late with seven interceptions and just one touchown in his last three games.

Terrelle Pryor recovers fast to participate in Wednesday session

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(11/6/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor has apparently not missed a beat despite leaving his Week 9 game with a knee sprain. He participated in practice on Wednesday, the Contra Costa Times has reported. He left the clash against Philadelphia in the fourth quarter and was deemed day-to-day.

Pryor has struggled of late with seven interceptions and just one touchdown pass in the last three games.

Terrelle Pryor's touchdown skid could continue Week 10

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/5/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor wasn't having an overly productive game Week 9 vs. Philadelphia before getting knocked out in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Pryor, who has been diagnosed with a knee sprain, will look to get back on track Week 10 at N.Y. Giants.

Pryor has gone two straight games without a touchdown pass and has thrown two interceptions in each of his last two games. Though, he's somewhat made up for the lack of passing touchdowns with 200 rushing yards in his last two games.

It could be bad news for Pryor that the Giants haven't allowed a passing touchdown in their last two games. Prior to that, however, the Giants allowed multiple passing touchdowns in the first six games.

Quarterbacks are averaging 21.3 Fantasy points per week against New York, but have totaled just six Fantasy points in the last two games. Quarterbacks also average 252.9 passing yards and 22 rushing yards per game against the Giants.

Pryor should play Sunday against the Giants, despite the knee injury. The Giants defense has been playing much better lately, so this isn't the ideal matchup it was looking like a few weeks ago for Fantasy owners. Consider Pryor more of a No. 2 Fantasy quarterback Week 10.

Terrelle Pryor day to day with knee sprain

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/4/2013)Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Monday quarterback Terrelle Pryor is day to day with a knee sprain, which he suffered in the fourth quarter Sunday against the Eagles. Matt McGloin came off the bench to finish out Sunday's 49-20 loss.

Matthew McGloin makes first NFL throws Week 9

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/3/2013)Raiders rookie quarterback Matthew McGloin threw a pass in an NFL regular-season game for the first time in his career during a 49-20 loss Week 9 vs. Philadelphia. McGloin came off the bench in the fourth quarter after starter Terrelle Pryor suffered a knee injury.

McGloin completed 7 of 15 passes for 87 yards. He had a few throws into the end zone on the two offensive drives he led in the fourth quarter, but his best chance came on a 2-yard pass to Denarius Moore, who caught the football before a defender stripped him of the score.

The Giants are back in action Week 10 at N.Y. Giants. The severity of Pryor's knee injury isn't yet known.

Terrelle Pryor exits Week 9 loss with knee injury

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/3/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor left Sunday's game against the Eagles with a knee injury. Pryor was replaced by Matt McGloin with less than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, with Oakland trailing 49-13.

The knee injury added to a disappointing day for Pryor, who had no touchdowns in the loss. Pryor completed 22 of 41 passes for 288 yards, but he had a pair of second-half interceptions.

His first interception came after Rod Streater couldn't haul in a pass that hit him in the hands. It was deflected into the air and was intercepted by Philadelphia. Pryor's second interception was on a bad throw.

Pryor's lone bright spot of the game was his 94 rushing yards on 10 carries. His longest rush was a 35-yard scramble to the Eagles' 8-yard line, which led to an 8-yard rushing touchdown by Rashad Jennings on the next play in the second quarter.

The Raiders are back in action Week 10 at N.Y. Giants.

Week 9 presents good time to start Terrelle Pryor

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(10/29/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor is undefeated in three home starts this season. He will look to improve to 4-0 when the Eagles come to town Week 9.

Pryor did not have a good time throwing the football in a 21-18 win Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh, completing 52 percent of his passes (10 of 19) for the second straight week. Still, Pryor came through for Fantasy owners with 106 rushing yards, which included a 93-yard rushing touchdown.

The Steelers were a tough opponent for Pryor, but the Eagles provided a more favorable matchup. Quarterbacks average 316 passing yards and 21.5 Fantasy points per week against the Eagles. Quarterbacks have totaled 14 passing touchdowns to eight interceptions, with five quarterbacks throwing multiple touchdowns against Philadelphia.

With six teams on a bye Week 9, this could be a good time to get Pryor into your Fantasy lineup.

Terrelle Pryor dashes for 93-yard touchdown in Week 8 win

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(10/27/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor had more rushing yards than passing yards during a 21-18 win Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh. Pryor rushed for 106 yards and one touchdown on nine carries, while completing 10 of 19 passes for 88 yards and two interceptions.

Pryor got off to a stellar start as on the first play of the game he rushed for a 93-yard touchdown. Unfortunately, it was pretty much downhill for Pryor the rest of the way, but Oakland still emerged with its third home win.

Pryor's first interception came on an overthrow in the first quarter. Pressure from the defense flushed Pryor from the pocket. Pryor failed to set his feet before throwing, so his pass sailed over Brice Butler's head and was intercepted by Troy Polamalu.

Pryor's second interception in the second quarter wasn't his fault. Butler could not haul in a pass that hit him right in the hands and it deflected to Cortez Allen.

Pryor has surpassed 100 rushing yards twice this season. He totaled a career-high 112 rushing yards Week 1 at Indianapolis. The Raiders are back in action Week 9 vs. Philadelphia.

Terrelle Pryor seeks rebound from disaster in Kansas City

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(10/24/2013)The bye week came at just the right time for Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who used it to work on bouncing back from the worst start of his short NFL career.

Pryor became the latest victim of the hot Kansas City defense in Week 6 when he completed 18 of 34 passes for 216 yards and his first three interceptions since the season opener. He spent much of his time off getting in extra work with offensive coordinator Greg Olson and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo.

"I've become a better quarterback from that game," Pryor told the Sacramento Bee. "The two days I had with Olson and coach Flip we really hammered home on situational football and understanding."

Pryor will try to bounce back Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Steelers pose tough matchup for Terrelle Pryor

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(10/22/2013)Coming off a Week 7 bye, Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor gets back to work Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh. Pryor has been effective in two home starts, completing 70.2 percent of his passes (33 of 47) for 347 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in wins over the Jaguars and Chargers.

Quarterbacks haven't had great success against the Steelers. They average 12.3 Fantasy points per week, which is the third-lowest average. Only Matt Cassel has thrown multiple touchdowns against Pittsburgh this season. Quarterbacks average 204.7 passing yards per game and have totaled five passing touchdowns against Pittsburgh.

Pryor has totaled at least 20 Fantasy points in three of five games this season. He's been a nice surprise in the first half, but Pryor is still far from being a reliable Fantasy start. He's more of a No. 2 Fantasy quarterback to start with favorable matchups. Unfortunately, Week 8 doesn't present such opportunity, despite Pryor playing well in his first two home starts.

Terrelle Pryor given no time Sunday

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

(10/13/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor did not get any help from a decimated offensive line and was sacked 10 times on Sunday during a Week 6 loss at Kansas City. Pryor also was rushed into throwing an interception returned 44 yards for a touchdown in the game's final moments.

Otherwise, Pryor may have played well on Sunday during the loss to the Chiefs. Pryor went 18 of 34 for 216 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. He found Denarius Moore for a 39-yard touchdown in stride in the second quarter for the game's first score.

Pryor still finished with a QB rating of 45.7, however. He rushed six times to lead the Raiders with 60 yards on the ground. Pryor has rushed for at least 30 yards in every game he's played and has five passing touchdowns compared to five interceptions. The Raiders are on bye Week 7 and return Week 8 against Pittsburgh.

Terrelle Pryor will 'take it to the House' during bye week

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(10/9/2013)Terrelle Pryor has earned the starting quarterback job for the Raiders. Now he plans on keeping it and thriving. He will work with former major league pitcher and throwing guru Tom House during the team's Week 7 bye.

"That's the thing," Pryor told the San Francisco Chronicle. "How hard are you working at your craft to make sure in your mind that is stays there? I am very locked in."

Pryor played like he was locked in against San Diego on Sunday, particularly in the first half, when he completed his first 10 passes, including two touchdowns.

Terrelle Pryor may have advantage with legs

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

(10/9/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor, despite playing in just nine NFL games in his career entering Week 6 at Kansas City, will already be playing in his third meeting with the Chiefs. That said, he threw just one pass -- and did not complete it -- in his first two games against them.

Pryor is a different quarterback right now as he's completed 37 of his last 51 passes for 502 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. That goes for a 123.2 quarterback rating. He also currently ranks third in the NFL among QBs with 229 rushing yards.

Pryor hasn't thrown a pick since Week 1, but has a tough test Week 6 against a Chiefs defense that has been solid enough to keep them undefeated until this point.

No quarterback has yet passed for more than one touchdown against them on the year, though quarterbacks who can run have an advantage, such as Pryor. Just last week Ryan Fitzpatrick rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs. We believe the Raiders will compete with Pryor at the lead. He should be considered a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 Fantasy quarterback for Sunday's game.

Hot start good enough for Terrelle Pryor in victory

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(10/7/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor played one sensational quarter and three mediocre ones Sunday night, but that gem was enough to help his team beat the Chargers.

Pryor completed his first 10 attempts for 115 yards and scoring strikes to wide receivers Rod Streater and Denarius Moore. He scrambled out of the pocket to gain yards when plays bogged down and had the San Diego defense befuddled and grasping at air.

He did little, however, for the rest of the game. He finished 18 of 23 for 221 yards. But he contributed 31 yards rushing and threw no interceptions.

Pryor has taken the starting job and run with it. He has won two of four games he's started in 2013, which might not seem like much to anyone but an Oakland fan. He will try to make it three of five next Sunday against the unbeaten Chiefs.

Terrelle Pryor puts concussion behind him; ready to roll in Week 5

He is free of concussion symptoms, according to the Oakland Tribune. He was about to get the green light to play in Week 4 against Washington, but a Saturday setback pushed him back and forced Matt Flynn into the starting role.

Mediocre Matt Flynn shows second-string stuff against Redskins

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(9/29/2013)For most of the game against Washington on Sunday, Raiders backup quarterback Matt Flynn showed why he had been beaten out twice for starting jobs. He fired a pick-six on a terrible throw and couldn't consistently move his team downfield.

Flynn finished the game with respectable numbers. He completed 18 of 31 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and the one interception. But he only put seven points on the board in the 24-14 loss.

Barring a setback in Terrelle Pryor's recovery from a concussion, Flynn will be back on the sideline when the Raiders host San Diego next Sunday.

Pryor was a limited participant in Friday practice. If he is deemed unavailable on Sunday, the starting nod will go to backup Matt Flynn, who has taken the first-team reps this week.

(9/26/2013)Dennis Allen shot down reports that Raiders starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor was inactive for Thursday practice, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Allen told the media that Pryor put his helmet on and took some reps.

The next step in his concussion protocol is to be cleared for contact. Pryor must pass that test before getting the green light to play Washington on Sunday. His absence would result in backup Matt Flynn receiving the starting nod.

(9/25/2013)A concussion that knocked Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor out of the Week 3 loss to Denver has him sidelined from Wednesday practice as well, the Contra Costa Times reports. His status for the game Sunday against visiting Washington has yet to be determined.

Matt Flynn, who Pryor beat out for the starting job in preseason, was taking the first-team snaps in practice.

Battle looms over concussion protocol used on Terrelle Pryor

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(9/25/2013)The protocol followed on the concussion sustained by Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor is causing disagreement between the NFL and NFLPA. The former is claiming that the team followed protocol while the union and Pryor's camp is claiming it did not, according to FoxSports.com.

The NFLPA is stating that the Raiders didn't examine Pryor immediately following a hit Sunday by Denver linebacker Wesley Woodyard. But Dennis Allen claimed he spoke with Pryor immediately after the hit and he showed no signs of a concussion. The medical staff did not check up on Pryor until the series was over several minutes later.

Raiders preparing game plan for two QBs

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(9/24/2013)Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday the team is preparing a game plan for Week 4 vs. Washington as if Terrelle Pryor (concussion) and Matt Flynn are starting, according to the Contra Costa Times. If Pryor isn't cleared in time for practice Wednesday, then Flynn will take the first-team reps.

Terrelle Pryor tweets he's going to play Week 4?

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(9/24/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor took to Twitter Tuesday to discuss his status after suffering a concussion Monday against the Broncos. Although, his messages about his Week 4 status were a bit misleading.

Pryor first fired off a tweet that said: "Sorry about the loss Raider Nation. I don’t remember much! Good hit by whoever it was. I heard our team fought well. We will be back."

Pryor's next message was more uplifting, leaving the door open for him to play Sunday against the Redskins.

Pryor can't practice or play until he passes the NFL-mandated protocol for players suffering a concussion. Raiders coach Dennis Allen said after Monday's loss he had "no idea" about Pryor's status for Week 4, according to the Contra Costa Times. If Pryor can't play Week 4, then Matt Flynn will likely start.

Matt Flynn has chance to start Week 4

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(9/24/2013)When Terrelle Pryor got knocked out with a concussion, Raiders quarterback Matt Flynn entered Monday's game in Denver with just over two minutes left. Flynn hit a 19-yard completion to Marcel Reece among his two throws.

It was Flynn's first action of the season. If Pryor can't play in Week 4 against Washington, Flynn would start.

Terrelle Pryor leaves late with concussion

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(9/23/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor was forced out of Monday night's game in Denver late with a concussion. Pryor got hurt on a designed quarterback run with about six minutes left.

On the second-down play, Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard delivered a shot to Pryor's head as the quarterback was sandwiched between Woodyard and linebacker Danny Trevathan. Pryor finished the series with a 7-yard completion and a 4th-down incompletion to the end zone, then was replaced by Matt Flynn on the next series.

Pryor showed his massive potential before the injury. He hit 19 of 28 throws for 281 yards, including a 73-yard touchdown to Denarius Moore. Pryor also ran four times for 36 yards.

If Pryor can recover in time, he'll face the Redskins in Week 4.

Terrelle Pryor could be decent Fantasy play in Week 2

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(9/11/2013)Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor did nothing in Indianapolis to make his starting status less secure. He passed for 217 yards and rushed for 112 more. And though he threw for just one touchdown and the team lost, he received strong praise for his performance from opposing quarterback Andrew Luck.

Look for Pryor to take his momentum and run with it against Jacksonville, which struggled defensively in its Week 1 home loss to Kansas City. The Jaguars allowed Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith to toss two touchdown passes with no interceptions and record a 94.4 rating. They also managed just one sack.

Pryor is gaining experience and he's always boasted confidence. The Jaguars might be ill-equipped defensively to handle a double threat such as Pryor, who had his Raiders poised for an upset against the Colts until late in the fourth quarter.

The matchup against Jacksonville, as well as his ability to score points with his arm and his feet, make him an intriguing Fantasy possibility for Week 2.

Terrelle Pryor not satisfied with Week 1 performance

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(9/9/2013)Although Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor racked up 329 yards (112 rushing) and almost led Oakland to a Week 1 win against the Colts, he called his performance "awful" following the 21-17 loss.

"I could've helped win the game and didn't," Pryor said, per CSN Bay Area. "We had 'em on the ropes and we didn't knock them out. The record is all that matters to me. I don't care what my numbers are. I just want to do well for the team, and I didn't do well enough.

"Please don't write this as cocky because it's not. Anytime I get on the field, I feel like I'm the best player out there, and that my team is going to have a chance to win. That's my job. I need to get the ball into the right hands and make plays. We have to get better. I know I do."

Allen: Terrelle Pryor must be given time to grow

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(9/7/2013)Dennis Allen has not named Terrelle Pryor a Raiders starter yet, but he is giving his quarterback the benefit of his youth. If Pryor does indeed start Sunday at Indianapolis, he will be handed plenty of rope.

"There is still a growing process he has to go through," Allen conceded to CSNBayArea.com. "We've had to take some lumps, I guess, would be the term. Overall, I've been pleased with the progression of Terrelle Pryor."

Pryor outplayed Matt Flynn down the stretch of the preseason. The San Francisco Chronicle and NFL.com have reported that Pryor is set as the starter.

Terrelle Pryor's status murky heading into opener

(9/4/2013)Though it has been reported earlier in the week that Terrelle Pryor has been named the Raiders' starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Colts, that decision has yet to be made public.

Pryor even appeared to refute the report, telling the Contra Costa Times all coach Dennis Allen has told the team is what he has told the media; no decision has been made. Still, Pryor appears to have taken the majority of the snaps with the first-team offense in practice, despite Matt Flynn being at full health.

Allen has yet to name his starter for Sunday's game, citing the competitive edge it can give the team in preparing.

Matt Flynn practices in full Wednesday

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

(9/4/2013)The Raiders have yet to name a starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Colts, with coach Dennis Allen maintaining that this strategy gives the team a competitive advantage. What was clear from practice Wednesday is that Matt Flynn is fully recovered from the sore right elbow that limited him late in the preseason, as he was able to practice in full and was not listed on the injury report.

Terrelle Pryor may not be as bad as advertised

by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer

(9/3/2013)It's not exactly a glowing review, but Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor isn't as bad as you think he is. The Colts defense -- despite finishing last season ranked 25th among DSTs -- is Week 1's most popular unit because of the matchup, but Pryor could prove to be an underrated Fantasy asset based on his ability to run the ball.

Pryor has two potentially electric (but heretofore relatively disappointing) wideouts in Rod Streater and Denarius Moore, as well as a healthy Darren McFadden, who caught 13 passes for 86 yards in Week 1 last season. Pryor didn't have the greatest passing preseason (17-of-32 for 221 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions), but he ran for 131 yards and a touchdown on just 14 attempts.

Let's say Pryor runs for 55 yards and a touchdown against Indianapolis; in most leagues, that's 11 Fantasy points before he even throws a pass. While it's easy to mock Oakland for what may be offensive ineptitude in real football, it shouldn't get in the way of what could be a decent Fantasy outing for Pryor. He's a fun upside gamble in two QB leagues, and a hot start could vault him into the top 15 at his position if he delivers on what looks like a promising rushing season.

Palmer had dinner with Cardinals executives on Monday, the Arizona Republic said.

La Canfora: Palmer trade hits snag

Palmer a match with Cards?

Palmer might want out of Oakland

by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer

(3/28/2013)Yahoo! Sports reports Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer might not be willing to take a pay cut because he wants Oakland to release him. The report says the "quarterback's decision, according to three sources familiar with Palmer's mindset, is based on a sense that Oakland's prospects for success in 2013 are so bleak that money is no longer the predominant factor in his thought process." Palmer's rejection of the Raiders' proposal could lead him to the Arizona Cardinals, who are in the market for a starting quarterback, or possibly put him on the path to becoming a backup for a contending team. Whereas Palmer's return to the Raiders seemed like a given just a few weeks ago, there's an increasing sense both inside the organization and in Palmer's camp that a divorce is imminent. "Carson isn't 28, and he doesn't know how much time he has left," one source close to Palmer said Wednesday. "Does he want to be with a team that is clearly rebuilding and looks like it's a long way away from contending, where he doesn't have a whole lot around him? He's gotten to play a lot in his career, but he hasn't gotten to experience a lot of winning. At this point, I think being somewhere where they have a chance to win is the most important thing."

'Highly unlikely' Palmer takes pay cut

by Dave Richard | Senior Fantasy Writer

(3/25/2013)ESPN reports that it is now "highly unlikely" Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer will agree to a contract restructuring or pay cut. He's owed $13 million for 2013.

The Arizona Republic chimed in to report the Cardinals are closely monitoring the situation as they'd make a run at Palmer if he were released.

Allen: Palmer not guaranteed to start

by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer

(3/19/2013)Raiders coach Dennis Allen said at the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix on Tuesday that quarterback Carson Palmer isn't guaranteed the starting job this season even if he returns to Oakland. "Carson is going into this offseason program as our starting quarterback," Allen said. (But) were not handing the starting job over to Carson." Allen considers Palmer the incumbent for the job, but he said Terrelle Pryor will have the chance to unseat him. "The guy who was the starter, and whoever the player was behind him, they have to earn those opportunities," Allen said. "Terrelle has to show us something during the offseason program. The more he shows us that hes capable of doing the things that hes going to need to do to be a starting quarterback in this league, the more opportunities hell get."
